“The new coach and staff are great,” Coleman told PrepColorado.com. “They seem ready to go, able to make the change and pumped to be there.”

He told BuffStampede.com, “CU is really close to home. It is only 30 minutes away so that is good for my family. And the biggest thing is my family loved it, I loved it and when I was up there, I just felt like it was a better overall place.”

Of CSU, Coleman told PrepColorado.com, “They were very respectful and polite about things. They are great people.”

Coleman missed most of his senior season after tearing his ACL, MCL and meniscus. He told BuffStampede.com that he “should be fully cleared in June.”

Coleman is CU’s third in-state pledge of the 2013 class, though only two will enroll this fall. Columbine offensive lineman John Lisella will grayshirt[4]. Denver South running back Phillip Lindsay, also rehabbing a knee injury[5], will enroll in the fall.
